What will happen to my 401k when filing bankruptcy?
These assets should not be effected at all.
Can employee stock options be converted to a 401K without bad faith before filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
generally no. the only type of money that can be put into a 401k are payroll deductions, roll ins from other 401k's, traditional or Rollover IRA's and pensions. If the stock options are in one of these plans, call your plans service center to get your plans rules and procedures. It is rare for stock options to be in one of these plans. Also stock options have no real value until you exercise them (buy the stock).
If you file chapter 7 do you lose your 401k?
NO. Absolutely fully protected...

No...you must disclose it but it will be exempt.
Can you re-ammortize your 401k loan payroll deduction payments if you are filing bankruptcy?
What are you possibly trying to say? (Your 401k is exempt from seizure and process in BK you know).
Is it legal to borrow from 401k before chapter 7 bankruptcy is discharged?
Yes, but it is one of the absolute stupidest things financially you can do. By the end of th BK you will lose the 401k money, which is only protected while it is IN the 401k, and be left with the debt to the plan, which won't be discharged and will seize the money in the plan to be paid.
